    "Unique" up on it.

    How do you catch a tame rabbit?
    "Tame" way.

    I don't think that people should feel testy about spelling/punctuation errors. This isn't school, no one is being graded, and the comment was made in a light-hearted fashion. :smile:

    But for some people, misspelled words and mispunctuated sentences are like nails on a chalkboard--while it's not a big enough issue to embarrass someone personally by pointing out their mistakes, there should be a place in the MFP community where we can laugh off the frustration without being made to feel guilty about it by those who do not find these issues quite as annoying.

    It's all good, but we should all feel free to have a place to express ourselves in an appropriate manner. :heart:

    Nicely said.... while it may be annoying to some people, the purpose of written language, in this forum, is communication, and I think we all know what someone means (through context) when they use either word.

    LOL for some folks, spelling comes easy. (I am one of those):blushing:

    for some folks, math comes easy ( I am NOT one of those):frown:

    I don't think she was being mean, just trying to help:ohwell:

    Yeah, But we are here for fitness and weight loss not grammar.

    I don't think it should offend anyone to learn the correct context of a word. :flowerforyou: We can help our minds as well as our bodies here. :wink:
